There are two other devices in this series that you may be interested in knowing more about – the most basic Nokia Body scale and the more advanced Nokia Body Cardio scale.

In this review, we will focus on the specific details, features, and qualities of the Nokia Body+ body composition Wi-Fi scale.

Selling Points

The Nokia Body+ body composition Wi-Fi scale does just what its name says – monitoring full body composition including body fat and body water percentage, bone and muscle mass, and bod weight in kilograms and pounds. Nokia markets this smart bathroom scale alongside the accompanying Health Mate application that the user downloads and installs on their smartphone or tablet for automatic stats synchronization and analysis.

One thing that the Nokia Body+ smart scale claims to have that other scales do not is an accurate nutrition tracking feature. This allows the user to set weight and fitness goals and use the Health Mate app and the scale to pursue them by managing their daily calorie budget. Besides these, the other top selling points of the scale are the daily weather forecast feature and its support for up to 8 different users.

Design and Build

The brand name Nokia is synonymous with high quality of build and durability in the tech arena; the company is apparently reinforcing the design principles that made it what it is in the design of the Nokia Body+ bathroom scale. These include the high-strength tempered glass platform that gives the device its premium appeal and the black-silver and white-silver color combinations guaranteed to complement any bathroom décor.

The Body+ scale measures 12.8 x 12.8 inches and is just 23mm thick, a clear improvement in design technology form the chunky analogue scales still available in the market. On the front-facing end, it has a 2.75 x 1.75 inch display with bright LED lettering and numbers that are easy to read and on the rear end a familiar Nokia logo.

Core Features

The app, which the company regularly updates, features algorithms that help the user find patterns and progress trends on weekly, monthly, quarterly, and annual bases and to manage their regimens based on set goals. The app also features nutrition and activity tracking features that provide invaluable information to the user.

Compatibility with 3rd-party apps: If you would rather not use the Nokia Health Mate application, you have the option to link your Nokia Body+ smart scale with a third-party application such as MyFitnessPal or the Apple Health app. The scale will then sync the stats it captures with your Apple or Android device for the third-party application to capture, compute, analyze, and report as per your preferences.

Convenient clear display: The LED display on the Nokia Body+ scale is an invaluable feature that can display charts and trends – for as far back as 8 weigh-ins per user. The small display can be configured in the app to display the measured statistics such as weight, BMI, body fat percentage, or if the user has an activity tracker with pedometer, steps taken. This display helps spontaneous users see the big picture of their weight loss or the progress of their fitness regimen and encourage them to keep going.
